Transmission fluid

Recommended Posts

Took my car to Ultratune – the mechanic said the transmission fluid needs to be change. It needs to be flush, and the transmission cooler also needs to be change for a total cost of $280 :ph34r: . The colour of the transmission fluid is sort of like light purple, but the mechanic said “It looks black to me. :angry:

I’ve read in another forum;

• Flushes will do more harm than good.

• Toyota Transmission fluid tends to disclolour very quickly, so having a light purple fluid wouldn’t matter.

Should I have mine change? Your opinions will be highly appreciated.

how many kms on the clock

I do mine every year and $280 is about what it costs anywhere they would do a power flush rather than a drain and top up so they force all the old spent fluid out while putting clean new fluid in

I dont know where you got that it would harm the transmission! seriously, if done correctly your transmission will shift smoother and faster

trans fluid is usually reddy pink when new

Now if your not happy with the ultratune guy why not got to a trans specialist and get a second opinion
